Gal’s Sushi serves extravagant sushi meals and Korean seafood dishes like live flounder sashimi and live octopus, or sannakji.
It’s one of the only places in Toronto to try sannakji, a spectacle that’s gained the attraction of animal rights activists, though the traditional dish has arguably been enjoyed for centuries.
On either side of the restaurant are more private booths, some fully enclosed like the one where we post up.
The dining room does a bustling service on weekends, a counter where maki are rolled and sushi combos are plated is up in full view of more open and central tables.
In the usual fashion of a Korean seafood restaurant, tanks containing live fish take centre stage — they're the first thing you see when you walk in and occupy a good deal of space.
